old holistic medicine

[bottlemania]

Here are a couple of cool little vials. They still have the labels of the contents. There is a pic of the top of the cork that's in the one. They still have residue of whatever was in them. Pulsatilla is commonly known as "Pasque Flower." The other I'm not sure about. The Latin is, "Nux Vomica." Which, incidently, was the name of my last band (not really).
